I thought this was an interesting read because I’ve felt much the same about my time with Vista. I like the new operating system and recommend it (after I disable UAC) to friends and family. But when they ask why they should upgrade I have a difficult time coming up with anything substantial. “The way it handles my digital pictures” doesn’t seem like a very compelling reason to drop $100-$250 on any new system if XP is working fine for you.
If you’re running Vista already, what do you tell friends when they ask if they should upgrade?
“On the other hand, nothing about Vista is truly innovative or compelling. With the exception of security (and we don’t know yet whether Microsoft’s security changes will be enough to significantly change the Windows experience), there’s no transformational, gotta-have-it feature in Vista”
